There’s a world inside of me
“Welcome” by David Collins, 2004
that you won’t understand.
I’ll take you there and show you around
if you’ll take my hand.
The world is full of love and danger
all throughout the land.
If you want to visit here
you need just take my hand.
My time is short, the story long.
It’s an epic very grand.
I’ll let you come to live a while;
I offer you my hand.
Valerath is a world and setting that I thought up and have been refining for over 20 years. It is mainly a high fantasy setting with aspects of dark fantasy, horror, humor, and romance. While details of the world are still being developed, broad strokes have been made determining the largest of the world’s geography, history, and belief systems. Characters, places, and major events have been molded, and like Pygmalion’s perfect statue, they await the breath of life.
The first entry into the saga of Valerath is The Cursed Crown, a third-person action RPG set on a remote island north of the continent of Shaida.
